Get a taste of the Soviet space project from the comfort of planet Earth with Cosmos: Birth of a New Age, an online exhibition of Soviet-era space objects.
Put together by Thngs Shows, a new initiative for collecting and sharing information about physical objects, Cosmos: Birth of a New Age brings 63 items from Moscow’s Polytechnic Museum to an online audience, together with relevant information about each piece.
Thngs has already signed a long-term contract with the Polytechnic Museum and Moscow Design Museum, and is set to launch a partnership programme with Getty. Stay tuned for more online exhibitions!
